There's also a matrix-ircd:

If you're too lazy to set it up (it requires Rust nightlies), let me
know and I can give you access to my instance (without guarantees)…

To me, this means that I can remain the IRC guy (yes, lamby, here's
the XKCD reference…) and interact with all the teams using Slack,
via Matrix. And I get to benefit from Matrix and specifically Riot
for the channels of my choosing. It's quite awesome. Happy to
demonstrate at LCA if you hit me up…
